Purple sweet potato vine

[ZEROPILOT]

I just received two purple sweet potato vines. They grow no potatos but have nice flowers.
Are the flowers and/or the leaves suitable to feed to a RF tortoise?

Yes, high in vit a and c and a handful of other minerals...

Thanks.
They appear to be very fast growing.

I have the same dark purple sweet potato vines with pink flowers. They do actually grow purple potatoes.
Haven't fed the leaves to the torts but may now after reading this.

I didn't know about any potatoes!
They're in hanging baskets at this time.
I guess I'll plant them in the garden.
Thanks.
